Great Little B Flat

LeeL, 10.12.2014

Great value and excellent free blowing low range make this a useful second instrument to have.The only issue is the strap hooks which in my opinion are useless for marching.

Well, there had to be improved!

Walter L. 732, 29.08.2013

I had picked up the tuba in the camp, unpacked on site and examined for any damage, could not find anything, so I packed it in the suitcase and drove the rel. Far way back to Holzkirchen (270 km).
At home, in the correct testing and tuning of the tuning, I noticed that the 2nd valve was much more difficult than the other 3 valves. I oiled the machine, but there was no improvement, on the contrary, even after some time my fingers for this second valve hurt from the pressure !!!
I am really not too picky, I also know that at this low price the machine can not run as well as for example with my Melton tuba, but I bought it for me as a second tuba, for something more dangerous shops , Such as rafting, weddings etc.! I play with the Melton. I know what I'm talking about, I've been playing Tuba for 33 years, and it's not bad!
So I phoned with the brass department of Thomann and immediately made an appointment again to check and overtake my new instrument ... the coworker immediately realized that I was right with the stiffness of the 2nd valve. He told me that it could take a while, because he had to dismantle the machine to re-grind and also to adjust the bearings with 2 valves. I agreed, of course, I've been there before I take the long journey a third time!
In the meantime, I looked around the lower Thomannhaus and ate lunch, then returned to the Serviscenter after the agreed time, where he was already waiting for me with my tuba. He explained to me what he had done to correct the mistakes, I tested the tuba and what should I tell you, the machine ran one, "almost" as good as my Melton!

Conclusion:
Thanks to your highly qualified and friendly staff, my initial anger had spread over this subject, because I was first and foremost that he had done so well! Then I said good-bye to myself and was not much more annoyed at the still-to-come way home.
In the meantime, I played some assignments and the quality of the machine remained the same.
I now have rel. Much written, but that I had to get rid of, if I should evaluate the Tuba already!

Thanks again to your coworker, sincerely
Walter Lankes
